</p><p>When an element in tree is disabled, all its descendants are shown in gray.

    the popup did disappear and it was required to select a node first and only then launch popup.</p><p>Look and feel can now be updated without a restart</p><p>Use <span class="keycombo"><span class="keysym">CTRL</span>&nbsp;+&nbsp;<span class="keysym">ALT</span>&nbsp;+&nbsp;<span class="keysym">wheel</span></span> for zooming

    however, it conflicted with horizontal scrolling.</p><p>In-app zoom is more consistent (e.g. sometimes not all the labels or even panels were scaled).
For instance: log viewer, JSR223 code editor were not previously scaled with zoom-in/out feature</p><p>Tree context menu is shown for the full row, not for the label only</p><p>Undo and redo support for editable fields.

 if you run a HTTPS request on a web site with a SSL certificate (itself or one of SSL certificates in its chain of trust) with a signature
 algorithm using MD2 (like <tt class="code">md2WithRSAEncryption</tt>) or with a SSL certificate with a size lower than 1024 bits.
This error is related to increased security in Java 8+.
<br>

To allow you to perform your HTTPS request, you can downgrade the security of your Java installation by editing
the Java <tt class="code">jdk.certpath.disabledAlgorithms</tt> property. Remove the MD2 value or the constraint on size, depending on your case.
